What skills and experience we're looking for

This is an exciting, and rare, opportunity to join one of the UK’s leading comprehensive schools, recently ranked third nationally in the Sunday Times’ ParentPower publication for the second year running. Due to the promotion and relocation of one of our leaders in Maths, we are looking to recruit an outstanding practitioner and inspirational leader to join our fantastic Maths department. As a Lead Practitioner you will contribute to the overall leadership of the faculty, delivering CPD and taking responsibility for a Key Stage, supported by a highly experienced faculty leader.

What the school offers its staff

For the right candidate we can offer:

  • A £3000 annual recruitment and retention allowance on top of your generous salary
  • A reduced teaching load for all staff (maximum 40 hours per fortnight, the equivalent of at least one free period every day), plus a generous time allocation for leadership
  • One hour a week of subject CPD timetabled into the College day as part of your timetabled allocation, reducing twilight sessions to a minimum and ensuring regular access to outstanding professional development
  • A minimum of one paid ‘family day’ per year to use as you choose, with the possibility of term time leave by negotiation
  • £1000 bursary for personal CPD, including funding for a Masters qualification (or equivalent)
  • A genuine commitment to wellbeing, with a strong track record in supporting positive mental health and high levels of staff retention and promotion (twice awarded the Carnegie Gold Medal)
  • The ability to work from home by agreement, and subsidised access to our on-site Sports Centre and Swimming Pool, available for us throughout the day

Further details about the role

Maths outcomes at IVC are consistently among the highest nationally for both attainment and progress. This post also offers the opportunity to teach at IB level for the right candidate, where Maths is a core part of the Diploma Programme for all students, and where outcomes are well in excess of the national and international averages. You will also be joining us at an incredibly exciting time, as we embed the IB Middle Years Programme at Key Stage 3, and become one of the first state schools in the UK to offer three IB programmes.

Impington Village College has achieved consistently excellent outcomes for the last five years. With a truly comprehensive intake, student progress is regularly in the top 5% of all non-selective schools in the country. Student attainment is exceptionally high, with 15% of all grades at Grade 9, 43% at 7-9 (or equivalent) and 85% of grades at 4-9. The College has also received a number of other national accolades, including the Gold Carnegie Medal for its work in supporting mental health and wellbeing, and SSAT Awards for progress, attainment and curriculum design.

With your knowledge and passion for Maths you will have the opportunity to build upon the successful curriculum embedded at IVC and deliver a high quality learning experience to our inspirational students.
